Better searching, smarter results

We’ve streamlined searching so you can find the answers you need faster than ever. Everything Search combines all your powerful search tools, so you can sweep through your entire library with a click. Search any verse, topic, person—anything—and Everything Search returns a list of relevant commentaries, maps, media, original-language data, and more.

The new Factbook functions like an ever-growing encyclopedia: search any biblical person, place, thing, event, or cultural concept, and Factbook returns clickable links to maps, images, dictionaries, lemmas, library results, and more. For example, search “Solomon,” and get infographics of his temple, dictionary links, all the names he’s referred to as and where they occur, lists of his relatives and roles, Timeline events, and topics for further study, as well as Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic lemmas. Factbook gives you all the information you need on biblical topics—all in one place.

Inline Search is another powerful search tool—now, you can perform advanced searches for terms, phrases, or morph forms within your open resources. Inline Search transforms your reverse interlinear into a powerful search tool.

I have used Logos for at least 10 years and recommended to many was on the phone with coustomer service for more than an hour today and then cut off. No return call. I am having to reconsider my unqualificed endorsement.

I was trying to talk to someone about Logos 6 and they told there was a computer issue and they could not access anyones account info. Was told they would call me back (I gave them my contact info) and it has been 2 days. I feel kind of like an inconvenience to them…

Hi Sam—I’m sorry to hear that! We’ll send along your info and someone should be in touch with you soon. Our systems are up and running again, so if you give us a call at 800-875-6467, we should be able to assist you just fine. Thanks!

I have the same problem as Sam Jones. Finally got a sales rep after four attempts only to be told that they could not access my account. They told me they would contact me but nothing yet after two days. I know that they are busy, but you would think that a computer group such as Logos would be able to get their computer problems fixed by now.

Hi Richard—sorry about that, and thanks for your patience! We’ll pass along yoru contact information to make sure someone gets in touch, but feel free to give us another call at 800-875-6467 in the meantime (our systems are back up and running again)!

I had just purchased LOGOS 5 last Saturday, LOGOS 6 released on Monday. With a very minimal increase in cost/month I was able to get the newest generation. Why stop there? I upgraded two levels and stayed within budget! Very excited to be using the newest LOGOS software.

I had similar experiences the first day Logos 6 was out. Customer service person seemed flustered, couldn’t get the computer systems to work, and was defensive when I asked questions. I will wait some time before I hear how 6 is going. Not sure it will be worth the $290 (if that’s even accurate) to crossgrade update.

All I care to say about L6 is that it is a BEAST! I'm actually giddy with excitement. I called one of my best ministry colleagues and friend and the two of us were just going crazy over the new capabilities. I'm taking refresher courses at DTS, and my fellow students there are full of chatter. Finally, I should get paid for how many people I've turned onto Logos. It was well worth it.

I called about upgrading since I got Logos 5 less than a year ago through Knox theological seminary and the person was short with me, put me on hold, and after 8 minutes I had to hang up. Great product but the customer service is slipping. This is the second issue for me with them in 3 months

Logos seems to have stressed certain items in development of 6 – certain things seem to be stressed in their advertising. I do not read Hebrew or Greek any other classical language. I will not be preparing fancy visual presentations. Why should someone like me bother with the expense of upgrading?

Logos did a great job of publishing minimum and recommended hardware and O/S versions for Logos 5. I have managed to find the minimum for 6, but no recommendations. If 6 has released (as indicated by other commenters), why has the environment information not been published?

I hear that! I think that they should be handing out some kind of honorary title for those of us spruiking this great product! I've just started 2 weeks annual leave…so ill be taking Logos6 off-road something fierce. Great product.
